Crossover Martial Arts: Oh my god! I'm actually a major villain!

How could the young emperor appoint a treacherous minister as prime minister? Could it be that Jia Sidao played a crucial role in the young emperor Zhao Gou's rebellion?

Xiao Yu Ruo, Madam Xiao, and Qiao Qiao heard Su Chen and Jia Si Dao addressing each other.

They looked at Su Chen with great surprise.

Marquis of Wuwei

This name was probably known to everyone in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Marquis of Wuwei's army is attacking the Southern Song Dynasty, and it can even be said that it is occupying large swathes of Southern Song territory.

"Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen? This bastard is actually Marquis Wuwei of the Sui Dynasty, Su Chen?"

Xiao Yu Ruo looked at Su Chen with a very complicated expression.

Marquis of Wuwei, Su Chen

He was a top-tier nobleman.

Moreover, he was a marquis with immense power.

Xiao Yu Ruo realized that she was just a merchant, and the difference in their social status was too great.

Long Xiaoyun looked at Su Chen with even greater surprise.

Marquis of Wuwei, Su Chen?

Isn't this the Great Demon King Su Chen?

Long Xiaoyun's body was now trembling.

Thinking about how he had almost attacked Su Chen, his hands were sweating. Long Xiaoyun was extremely grateful that he hadn't provoked the Great Demon King Su Chen, otherwise he probably would have been beheaded long ago.

The surrounding Southern Song troops also looked at Su Chen in surprise.

These soldiers had not expected that the Marquis of Wuwei would appear in Lin'an City.

Lin'an was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. How could the Marquis of Wuwei appear in Lin'an? Could it be that the Marquis of Wuwei's army was about to launch a surprise attack on Lin'an?

Jia Sidao glared at Su Chen and threatened, "Marquis Wuwei, aren't you afraid of dying if you show up in Lin'an City?"

"Ha ha......"

Su Chen burst into laughter upon hearing Jia Sidao's words.

He looked at Jia Sidao and said sarcastically.

"Jia Sidao, do you dare kill me? Do the troops here dare kill me? Does your little emperor dare kill me?"

"you......"

Although Jia Sidao was very angry upon hearing Su Chen's words,

But he really didn't dare to kill Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen.

He originally intended to scare Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen, but he didn't expect that Marquis Wuwei wouldn't fall for it.

Marquis Wuwei wielded immense power in the Sui Dynasty, commanding a fiefdom of one prefecture and an army of five to six hundred thousand men—making him a powerful regional lord.

After Yuwen Huaji of the Sui Dynasty was assassinated and died,

The Sui emperor actually wiped out Yuwen Huaji's entire family, while the Sui empress had a close relationship with the Marquis of Wuwei.

Marquis Wuwei also achieved victory in the wars of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Southern Song Dynasty wanted to negotiate peace with Marquis Wuwei. They absolutely could not afford to offend him. If Marquis Wuwei were killed, the Southern Song and the Sui Dynasty would likely fight to the death.

"Lord Wuwei, we, the Southern Song Dynasty, wish to negotiate peace with you. This is our peace treaty document!"

Chapter 174 Taking advantage of a crisis? The Southern Song Dynasty's traitorous terms!

Jia Sidao beckoned to the side, and a soldier quickly handed the peace negotiation documents from Jia Sidao's hand to Su Chen.

Su Chen picked up the peace treaty and began to read it.

Xiao Yu Ruo and Lin Shi Yin, who were beside him, also craned their necks to look over, eager to know what price the Southern Song Dynasty would have to pay to make Su Chen withdraw his troops.

I go!

The Southern Song Dynasty was truly wealthy.

One million taels of silver!

Ten thousand dan of grain!

One hundred beautiful women!

They would later become vassals of the Sui Dynasty and pay tribute.

They could even cede Ningzhou to them.

Su Chen was speechless when he looked at the peace treaty; this was clearly a treaty of treason for the Southern Song Dynasty.

Xiao Yu Ruo and Lin Shi Yin were also very surprised. They did not expect that the Southern Song Dynasty would pay such a high price. Could it be that Marquis Wuwei could really destroy the Southern Song Empire?

Su Chen handed the peace treaty to Xiao Yu Ruo.

He looked at Jia Sidao and asked with a smile,

"Jia Sidao, has the Northern Song Dynasty sent troops?"

Jia Sidao nodded and replied.

"To be honest, Marquis Wuwei, the Northern Song Dynasty sent troops yesterday. However, it is impossible for the Northern Song Dynasty to cross the Yangtze River to the south. We have a large force defending the natural barrier of the Yangtze River."

Jia Sidao did not hide anything from Su Chen.

This matter cannot be hidden any longer.

If the Northern Song Dynasty's 300,000-strong army attacked the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, it would probably take less than ten days for the entire population of the Southern Song Dynasty to know about it.

Su Chen understood after hearing Jia Sidao's words.

The Southern Song Dynasty was no match for his southern expeditionary army to begin with. Now that the Northern Song Dynasty had also joined the fray, the Southern Song Dynasty was facing attacks from both the south and the north. It was likely that the Southern Song Dynasty would not be able to hold out for more than three months before it was destroyed.

Su Chen didn't want to benefit the Northern Song Dynasty either.

He thought that he should let the Southern Song and Northern Song dynasties weaken each other first, then launch a war to destroy the Southern Song first, and then send his army north to destroy the Northern Song.

“Jia Sidao, go back and tell your emperor that if the terms in the peace treaty are doubled, I can order the army to stop the attack.”

"Really?"

Jia Sidao was overjoyed to hear Su Chen's words.

The terms in the peace treaty between the two countries were the most basic terms; even if the Marquis of Wuwei offered three times that amount, the Southern Song emperor would still agree.

"Of course, I, Marquis Wuwei, always keep my word."

"Alright, Marquis Wuwei, you rest at the Xiao residence for now. I will go and inform His Majesty immediately."

"can!"

Su Chen nodded in agreement.

He also understood that Jia Sidao was afraid he would escape, so this was a disguised form of house arrest. This wasn't the first time Su Chen had been placed under house arrest; he had been under house arrest for several days in the Tang Empire before.

"General Wang, you are in charge of protecting Marquis Wuwei. You must not let anything happen to Marquis Wuwei. If anything happens to Marquis Wuwei, you will bring your head to me."

"Yes, Lord Jia!"

After Jia Sidao gave instructions to the Imperial Guard general,

He left immediately without stopping.

The sooner this matter is resolved, the better; otherwise, who knows where the Marquis of Wuwei's army will advance to.

Lin Shiyin looked at Su Chen and said speechlessly,

"You're really asking for the moon."

Lin Shiyin never expected that Su Chen could get millions of dollars just by talking, and also gain two prefectures in the Southern Song Dynasty. This bastard's power will probably grow stronger and stronger in the future, and Su Chen may even establish a country and become emperor.

Su Chen smiled and asked Lin Shiyin, "Lin Shiyin, are you still going to compare wealth with me?"

"Shameless! You're taking advantage of our misfortune."

"Taking advantage of someone's misfortune? No! Lin Shiyin, I launched the war against the Southern Song first. It was the Northern Song that took advantage of the situation."

"Uh!"

Lin Shiyin was speechless after hearing Su Chen's words.

indeed,

Su Chenxian had already engaged in war with the Southern Song Dynasty, while the Northern Song Dynasty had only launched an attack on the Southern Song Dynasty yesterday.

Xiao Yu Ruo watched Su Chen from the side without saying a word.

Now that she knows Su Chen's identity, Xiao Yu Ruo doesn't know how to talk to him this time.

Madam Xiao whispered to Xiao Yu Ruo beside her, "Yu Ruo, do you love Marquis Wuwei?"

“Mother, I...I didn’t know he was the Marquis of Wuwei.”

Xiao Yu Ruo heard her mother's words,
